Why I Did This
In previous articles, I've mentioned training and experiencing PLC development using OpenPLC and FactoryIO. In this demo, I using SFC to program FactoryIO's pick and place scene.

FactoryIO's 'Pick and Place' scene, programmed through OpenPLC.
Highlights
In this scene, I use SFC language to program the pick and place scene. The scene uses 2 sets of conveyors to transport lid and bases. The pick and place arm (along with clamps) lines up and moves the lid onto the base.
